Last weekend, it was amazing to watch as many got baptized during our services. This was a beautiful picture of the active work God is doing in hearts throughout our community! Jeff Maguire reminded us that through baptism, we are not only given new life in the body of Christ, but we are baptized into the body of Christ, which is the community called the church. What a great reminder that we need one another in order to walk out our faith!

On Tuesday, we had our Community Kickoff and hundreds of you jumped into Rooted and Life Groups. It was so great bringing everyone together, reminding us of our need to be known and connected. It was powerful seeing so many of you taking bold steps into fellowship and I can’t wait to see the way God will meet you as you build friendships in your groups. For those of you that may have missed it, it isn’t too late to get connected in a Rooted group – Just come to the MV Campus on Tuesday at 6:30p and I will help you get connected!

This weekend, Doug Fields will be with us to share a message out of God’s Word. Please plan to join us as we worship together. I look forward to seeing you on the patio after services!
